EdTech-Related Lists, News, and Jobs Sites

News Type: Other — Thu Dec 14, 2006 9:19 PM EST

Here are some active discussion lists related to educational technology:

H-EDTECH - Seems to be mainly teachers and technology coordinators and so forth, sharing tips and techniques about technology in the classroom. A copy of the archives is also on usenet.
ITForum - instructional technology researchers, practitioners.
Teach and Learn Online - for people interested in all things eLearning, flexible delivery, online education, networked learning, and web 2.0.
SchoolForge - open source in education
IEEE Education Society - Engineering education. I just subscribed, I don't know how active it is.
WWWEDU - the web and education. Once a very active list, seems to be declining.
Teacher Universe has a large list of other educational mailing lists also.

And here are some sites for keeping track of edtech-related stuff in the news, in addition to the ed-tech group here at newsvine.

Ray Schroeder's Educational Technology Blog - has long been a daily source of ed tech news
eSchool News online - news about technology and schools and e-learning. They have a print edition as well.
Education Research Report - not edtech, but this blog is great at summarizing recent research on schools and learning.
OLDaily - Stephen Downes has long reported on the goings on in the edu-blogging world and elsewhere.
Education News @ Topix - again, not edtech, but just an aggregator of education-related news

Where to find jobs in instructional technology, educational technology, e-learning:

See the job listings provided by various organizations such as AECT, AERA, ISLS, and AACE.
The Chronicle of Higher Education is the main place academic faculty and administrative positions are listed.
Indiana has a listing of jobs in instructional technology.
See also HigherEdJobs.
Find jobs in Britain and other EU related countries (see also this site).
You'll find job postings on some mailing lists like ITForum or this one.
Some research centers occasionally post job openings such as TERC, SRI, Concord and others.
See also government sites for jobs with the government or military.
Finally of course, see general job listing boards like CareerBuilder, Monster, CraigsList, and Yahoo HotJobs.
Otherwise you should look at the web sites for individual colleges, school districts, and companies such as ETS, Scholastic, Pearson.

I'm sure I missed a lot. Feel free to add any other sites or tips in the comments below.

What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.
